I really don't understand the user rating system on this site, supposedly based on our "Achievements".
On Tuesday/Wednesday my rating was 11111. On Wednesday/Thursday it was 10955 and today it is 10892.
Besides regularly reading and posting, the ratings are going downwards instead of upwards.
Its okay though , we know how valuable you are :)
These occur after "items" are deleted , in my experience.
Items could be products , code , articles , posts , threads , responses etc .
It would be interesting (as an experiment only , it has no value) for these points to be minted on an ethereum erc-20 token .
Like so :
- Turn the rating into pending and minted . The pending is held on this server (as is) and the minted is the token on ethereum . Let's call it MQR
- When you turn pending into MQR , the MQR smart contract mints MQR and sends it to your wallet . (the wallet is connected to your profile ,optionally)
- That process requires fees so its triggered via the user via mql5.com which means there would have to be web3 capable parts on the site
- When the pending turns to MQR , the pending is reset to 0 , so your profile now displays 10K MQR read directly from the chain
- We are assuming no malpractice or cheating or favorability toward certain users etc from the pending part of the system for this
- Now , there are NFT's that represent community rewards . You can mint those with spending MQR , there are tiers , like with the rewards , again , the fees
are on the user , so , mint through mql5 through web3 capable section.
An alternative would be Soulbound NFTs but then mql5 would have to bear the fees to distribute those. - When i like your post pending is taken from my stack and sent to yours
- The way rating is distributed remains to distribute pending
Pros :
- At some point someone will start a liquidity pool on a decentralized exchange for MQR , this will attract new users potentially people who are new in trading to see how MQR is minted ,and will bring quite a few of them on the community , freelance , market signals etc.
- The rating rewards is back and mql5 does not have to spend $ to sustain it.
Cons :
- Pending and MQR farming.
- Potentially lots of spam to deal with and a plethora of off-topic posts.
- Strain on the servers that has a $ cost.
🤣 That is the best answer ever! Thank you for the complement!
To be honest, my post was more about a indirect rant of how I perceive the rating system to be flawed and of little value to the forum.
It does not effectively deter spammers and it also does not effectively encourage the community either.
I don't really know what the best solution should be, but I do know that it is flawed and that there are better methods used on other forums that would be a better fit.
